wiseheartNot much is happening right now, which can be a good thing sometimes. It means we - hopefully - are still as healthy as one can at our age. Let's hope it will stay that way.
Yesterday was the funeral of Mum's friend; we went to the cemetery, which alone was a 4-hour undertaking, as it is at the other end of the city. Plus, the trams didn't go through due to some nebulous construction work, so we had to switch to the ersatz bus. Bot the trams in that district and the ersatz buses are old models, meaning that poor Mum had to climb two sets of very high steps - and that twice, as we had to come home somehow, too.
Once having reached the cemetery, we learned that the actual service will be at the grave, not in the room where the dead are bared up, as it usually is. Going to the actual grave would have been a very long walk, so Mum decided to say her farewells right there, and then we left.Not the way she planned to part ways with her late friend, but she really couldn't have walked back to the grave. That cemetery is huge, and her knees can no longer take such efforts.
We've also postponed the party we planned with my colleagues for Friday. Two of them are already ill, the husband of the third one is going down with something, a fourth one has unexpectedly been called to Grandma duties... we decided to throw the party in three weeks' time instead. In a way, it's better so, at least I can get visits to the dentist and the hairdresser's behind me until then.
